Best synth-pop album of the 80's? fricking right it is



I don't even like anything else Human League released, but I'll be a son of a bitch if this isn't one of the best albums of the 80's. shite, maybe ever.

A few points:

-Has one of the biggest singles of the decade, "Don't You Want Me Baby"
-It has a few weak tracks (I am the Law, looking at you), like most albums, but they're still pretty solid
-Best tracks: The Things Dreams are Made Of, Sound of the Crowd, Do or Die, Love Action (I Believe in Love), Don't You Want Me Baby
-The catchiest synth and keyboard riffs maybe fricking ever contained in one single album
Examples:
56 seconds into Love Action
1:14 into Do or Die

great album

Dan I will give you this, they use to play Love Action remix in the clubs back in the day and it was pretty tight when you're all geeked up on chemicals. That Reeeeeeoooon, reeeeeeeeon, reeeeeeeon sound would just echo around in your head.

that's all I got.

Love Action is so bad. It's even worse than danman threads.

man, that's tough. Almost like asking me which is my favorite child. To be honest, I just learned there was a term called synth pop. So I'm not sure what bands fall under that. I preferred the industrial side of that type music.

VERY tough question because I, like most others i'm sure have worn their favorites out and really don't care for them anymore.

howver i think it has to be this one though:

I like Dare!, but I think Human League's best songs are "(Keep Feeling) Fascination" and "Human"...But that's just me.
